AMK 1/48 Mig-31 FOXHOUND Part 2 - OIL WEATHERING and FINISH

The beast is finally done with a lot of effort in oil weathering, repainting the missiles and hand painting the canopy seals.
Lots of photos at the end - very hard to photo such a big jet, but was worth it in the end!

Thanks for all your comments, I posted this the day I went away on holidays for two weeks! I've added chapter titles so you can go back and forth for the different sections. Cheers, Chris

I found this one... UNIQUE! The uneven tone is amazing ... stunning build! Cheers from Argentina

[@beckersmodels]

Many thanks - I wanted it to stand out a bit from the rest!

[@J.Runk81]

Wow just freaking amazing! I hope to be on your level some day.

[@beckersmodels]

Oh thanks mate, I still consider myself lacking in skill, this was a big step up for me and I hope to do something like it again one day. Cheers Chris

[@lesmatthews2231]

Really nice work mate

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Les!

[@negativeimage2445]

Excellent, love it cheers

[@beckersmodels]

Thank you! Was a very fun project, cheers Chris

[@ralphford4302]

Both part 1 & 2 were so good at the way you used multi-layering in the build up and final blend of the colors to get the effect you were after- great work - keep it up

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Ralph, that's been my favourite painting exercise so far...really going to stay on that trend and keep trying new things! Cheers Chris

[@TheModelorian]

Absolutely superb! What an awesome realistic paintjob and weathering!!! Great finish!!!

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks mate - I tried really hard with this one to stretch the weathering - learnt a lot for my naval builds in particular. Cheers Chris

[@FPdesignfab]

Nice work. I gotta build a Mig.

[@beckersmodels]

Its a very solid build, much better than the Hobby Boss version. I would go 1/72 next time though, its really big in 1/48! Cheers, Chris

[@giorgosgr2]

The result its just awesome 👌👌👌👌👌

[@sultanofswing8270]

Fantastic build, has been a real pleasure to watch you work !

[@brianc1701]

Outstanding results, can't wait to see this used on some naval aircraft in your future videos!

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks,me too - I think the next build will be naval something....cheers, Chris.

[@diegosantiago6429]

masterpiece!

[@beckersmodels]

Oh thanks Diego, I think its okay, would like to try an F-14 soon with similar weathering! Cheers, Chris

[@fredtedstedman]

Great job on the Foxhound !

[@beckersmodels]

Many thanks I really enjoyed it! Cheers Chris

[@fredtedstedman]

@@beckersmodels 20:12 Strikes me that Bird S**t must play a big part in weathering -when you're parked outside !? 'specially if you have seagulls !

[@rickbourn971]

Wow! Turns out fantastic! Especially liked the finished you did on the missiles. Really great looking. Acrylic stand is sharp too! Did you make it or buy it?

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Rick - its a Flightpose stand - you can get 2/4/6 inch versions and then swap out the legs to make it a bit more dynamic. Glad I repainted those missiles! Cheers Chris

[@kenjohnston8173]

Noticed some of ur staining is running towards starboard and port directions. Shouldn't they all be running in direction of wind towards the aft? I'm new, so may have no idea.

[@beckersmodels]

I'm using a bit of artistic license with the staining!

[@paulwarren1173]

One of the tools you showed were micron pens. Where did you use those?

[@beckersmodels]

Hi Paul, I used them on the exhausts to do the high temperature purple/blue effects. You dab a little on with the pen and then pull in back and forth with a cotton bud/Q-Tip. Cheers Chris

[@TheVtwinbiker]

Where did you get the tripod stand for this amazing build?

[@beckersmodels]

Hi Mel, its a Flightpose Stand, I change out one of the 4" high rods for a 6" version from another version (they come in 2", 4" and 6" high) to give it that lean/pose. Cheers, Chris
